We are almost there with only 13 seats to declare. Here is the latest forecast from the BBC of the final results.
Conservatives - 365 seats
Labour - 203 seats
SNP - 48 seats
Lib Dems - 11 seats
Plaid Cymru - 4 seats
Green Party - 1 seat
Others - 18 seats
Brexit Party - 0 seats
Image source, PA MediaLabour's shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has held on to his North London constituency. His majority fell by 3,000 but it still stands at a very healthy 30,509.
Tweeting after his re-election he said: "There is no hiding from the overall result.
"It is devastating - it will hurt the millions of people who so desperately need a Labour government.
"They have suffered so much under ten years of Tory austerity and will suffer more because of this result.
"We must now reflect; but we must also rebuild."
Sir Keir is seen by many as a potential leadership contender when Mr Corbyn steps down.
The co-leader of the Green Party has accused the Tories of lying over their policy on Brexit.
She says: "They've just shouted out 'get Brexit done', that's their job now.
"But that was a lie. We will go into a transition period with an 11-month deadline to get a trade deal agreed by all of the EU, let alone others around the world."
Ms Berry adds: "Brexit is going to be really, really hard for this country.
"Those of us in opposition will still have work to do and let's hope we work together."

What a night. There are big changes coming in UK politics.
The Tories now have the comfortable majority they need to deliver Brexit.
It’s almost certain the UK will now leave the EU next month.
It looks like Boris Johnson’s “Get Brexit Done” message has paid off - areas which have been Labour heartlands for decades have made a break and elected a Tory MP.
It’s been a catastrophic night for Labour - and the party is on course for its worst seat tally in decades.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he will stand down but after a period of reflection.
Some want him to go much sooner and for the party to change direction. There is a battle coming.
Some big names have lost their seats. The most prominent was Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson, who said just a few weeks ago she wanted to be prime minister. The DUP’s leader at Westminster Nigel Dodds has gone too.
The picture in Scotland is very different indeed.
The SNP have had an extremely strong night and have won more than three quarters of Scottish seats.
That means Scottish independence will be back on the agenda and the SNP believe they have a new mandate to hold another referendum.
Boris Johnson expelled 21 MPs from the parliamentary Conservative Party after they rebelled against him in September in a bid to prevent a no-deal Brexit
Remember that crazy September day when Boris Johnson kicked out 21 MPs from his party, because they chose to back a bid to prevent a no-deal Brexit?
Quite a few of them decided to stand as candidates anyway - without any success.
Those who ran as independent candidates and lost their seats were former Justice Secretary David Gauke, former attorney general Dominic Grieve, and former health minister Anne Milton.
Sam Gyimah and Antoinette Sandbach, who both defected to the Liberal Democrats, also did not get elected.
Only those who had the whip restored have been re-elected. They are Greg Clark, Stephen Hammond, Caroline Nokes and Steve Brine.
The rest of the rebels decided not to stand for re-election:

As the results rolled in overnight, reaction came in fast.
In the early hours of Friday, one surprising term made an appearance on the list of top UK Twitter trends: "Canada". The most popular tweets were from left-leaning voters declaring their intention to up sticks.
A bit more bad news for the Liberal Democrats as their Brexit spokesman Tom Brake narrowly loses his seat to Conservative Elliot Colburn.

Image source, Reuters/PA MediaWe just mentioned Denis Skinner and David Gauke. Earlier, there were audible gasps in the newsroom when Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson was defeated.
Veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner has lost the seat of Bolsover to the Conservatives with a swing of 11.5% away from Labour.
Mr Skinner had held the Derbyshire constituency since 1970.
Journalists like Joshua Zitser are shocked...

Image source, ReutersFormer Justice Secretary David Gauke is another big name to lose his seat overnight.
He had been a Tory and a major part of both David Cameron's and Theresa May's government.
But he was another rebel booted out by Boris Johnson for trying to stop a no-deal Brexit in the Commons earlier this year.
He ran as an independent in his seat of Hertfordshire South West and gained a lot of praise for his amusing Twitter videos throughout the campaign.
However, it wasn't enough, and while he secured almost 16,000 votes, his Tory successor, Gagan Mohindra, took more than 30,000.
Business Insider's senior reporter looks at what might be next for the Lib Dem leadership.
He reckons Layla Moran, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, is the most likely replacement for Jo Swinson.
Ms Swinson, of course, has not quit as leader - yet, anyway - but has lost her seat.

The Nottinghamshire seat of Bassetlaw has seen the biggest swing from Labour towards the Tories of any constituency in England - 18% - and it has now changed hands.
Former Labour MP John Mann, who stood down ahead of the election, says it has been "unambiguous" in the area that they will not vote Labour because of Jeremy Corbyn.
"They have lent their support to the Conservative Party to get Brexit done," he says, visibly angry.
"I have been warning both privately and publicly... you don't know whats going to hit you. Don't underestimate the toxicity of Jeremy Corbyn and the cult around him."
Lord Mann calls on the leader to step down straight away.
"Labour requires a leader that understands where people are coming from," he says.
"The result in Bassetlaw sums up the arrogance of the Corbyn project.
"They have taken working class voters for granted and that arrogance, if that doesn't change then Labour is finished as political force in this country."
